Is this safe to use on back yard grass? I live in New York. Not sure what type / variety of grass I have.

In NY, you probably have a type of cool season grass. So, you should NOT use Weed-Impede on your lawn. From the Weed-Impede label: * * * * * SPECIAL USE PRECAUTIONS To avoid possible injury, DO NOT apply WEED IMPEDE to: * Cool season turfgrass species (bluegrass, fescues, bentgrasses, etc.). * Newly sprigged or sodded areas of bermudagrass, St. Augustinegrass, centipedegrass, or zoysiagrass until these turfgrasses are well-established and have well-anchored root systems. * Newly hydromulched areas of bermudagrass until such areas are well-established. * Bermudagrass variety "Sun Turf" when WEED IMPEDE is tank mixed with atrazine. * * * * *

Yes, this is an organic fertilizaer and it won't burn your grass. You can't fertilize your lawn with synthetic fertilizers as they are sodium based products which burn the grass due to the salt. Milorganite is basically feces and will not harm your lawn when used in the summer. I use this with alfalfa meal (rabbit food/iguana bedding @15lbs per 1000 ft) and have outstanding results in the summer. Make sure to water at least an inch after application (if it hasn't rained within a week) to help breakdown the fertilizers. Enjoy!

I have a white fence in my backyard. I cleaned it and then hosed it off. I did not see any damage to the grass that touches the fence. I do not know if that was because I did not let it sit too long after I hosed it off. Hope this helps. PS I think this stuff is terrific. The difference was incredible!

I can only tell you that when I torched between my patio stones all the weeds died and did not come back, but the grass between the stones burned off and grew back very nicely. What I don't know is what variety of southern grass I have, so there is the possibility that all types of grasses may not like being burned. Think about it, the farmers burn their pastures in the spring to kill off the weeds and the pasture grasses regrow. Why not try a sample patch to see what will happen?

I use it for weeds in my dwarf mondo grass with no problem. Not sure about anything else though.

I don't have any Bluegrass in my yard, so I can't speak from experience. I just googled "ornamec and bluegrass" and got mixed opinions on this. The directions indicate it does stress other grasses, and I noticed this slightly on my fescue. But how it affects bluegrass, I'm sorry I can't say.

Sure, as long as you keep the blades sharpened. Judging from what I have mowed with mine, I don't see why it wouldn't cut most any type of grass as long as you keep the sharpened! Good Luck!

Should grow fine. I'm in Colorado (Denver metro area) and haven't had a problem getting it to sprout & grow, especially on the North side of my house which is always in shade and has more snow until later in the year than other areas. My biggest problem was the lawn service cutting it down to their "normal" low height last season. For that and other reasons, I'll be doing my own grass this year. ;&gt;

I put mine in the bathtub and soak it with dish soap and water. Then I use a cleaning brush and scrub lightly (front and back) to prevent grass from falling out. If it's really smelly and dirty I add a lil bit of clorox to the soap water.

Though I do not have a lawn, my experience tells me that it will not work on a lawn, especially one with a lot of leaves. As previously stated by others, it works best on smooth surfaces. That is what it was designed to do. You will need a gas or electric high output unit for lawns/leaves.

Scott, it just so happens I have both types of grass. I planted Zoysia about 17 years ago and it is slowly taking over my front lawn. The rest of the lawn is bluegrass/fescue mix. The striping is most dramatic, or noticeable, on the fine bladed grass. It bends easier making the light reflect off the blades, making it looked striped. The zoysia is much thicker, wider blades, and it bounces back quicker. It will work, but it won't pop as much. I hope that makes sense and it helps you make a decision.

It absolute can be used in grass. My father-in-law used it a lot outside. :)

Just wait a few days for the grass to die. This is not a herbicide. It is an organic spray that will only harm grass or weeds it has direct contact with. There are no residual harmful effects to the soil.

Hi! I don't know. I don't have turf grass but I have used it to trim very thick weeds and branches. I hope this helps!

I don't recommend this for home lawns due to it's toxicity. You must cover all exposed skin & should wear a respirator when applying Use some thing less toxic for lawns your kids &, dog will play on.

Does great on grass. As long the grass is of regular height, there are no issues.
